The P-type ATPases also known as E1-E2 ATPases are a large group of evolutionarily related ion and lipid pumps that are found in bacteria archaea and eukaryotes. They are α-helical bundle primary transporters referred to as P-type ATPases because they catalyze auto- (or self-) phosphorylation of a key conserved aspartate residue within the pump.
